The osteology of the tail fin of Glandulocauda melanogenys. Other than some
modifications of the scales from the upper lobe of the caudal fin the only notable
modification is the bowing of fin rays 11 and 12. These two fin rays have pheromone
club cells scattered along at least of their lengths. The tail fin of Lophiobrycon
weitzmani is very similar.
The osteology of the tail and its accompanying pheromone organ of the male
Mimagoniates lateralis. Here the fin rays 12 and 13 have become modified to form a
small pocket that is in part covered by modified scales of the dorsal caudal-fin lobe.
Most of
ESthe pheromone club cells are confined to the pocket. Presumably the
pocket acts as a pump when the male flexes his tail toward the female during
courtship. All members of the Glandulocaudinae have modified caudal scales from
the dorsal caudal-fin lobe. All Stevardiinae have scales modified from the base of the
lower caudal-fin lobe.
